Im swaping a b18a1 Into my crx. The engine is in place, But Im having difficulty geating the rear engine mount T-bone bracket on.

Does anyone have any helpful tips on putting this bracket on?

Any help is appreciated.

are you using the proper rear bracket? (JDM SiR)

don't tighten the top tranny and timing belt side mount bolts all of the way, this will allow you to swing the engine back and forth. Have a friend pry the engine back and forth freeing up a little room to squeeze the rear bracket in.

If you have the wrong rear bracket, it'll never go in.

Arent I supposed to use the Integra DA bracket?

the only one that fits and that i've ever used is the JDM CRX SiR (b16) rear bracket

Should the SIR Bracket fit with little difficulty? I've used the LS Bracket on a swap I did once before. It fit with modification,But was very difficult. Do you have a line on where I could get one? And generally, with the motor all ready in, Should it go in fairly easily?

yes, the SiR bracket fits with minimal effort, i mean its not that easy (in my opinion) to get the rear bracket in with the engine already in the car, so I like droppin the engine in with the bracket attached.

I didn't even know you could make the LS bracket fit.

I can pull the engine back out again, thats no Big deal.

I Did get a DA bracket to fit once. but with an insane amount of effort.

Do you have any leads on a SIR bracket?
